You’ll hear, of course, The Watson Twins and Sierra Ferrell but also Lola Kirke, Feist, Jenny Lewis, New Pornographers, Courtney Barnett, Warpaint, The Beths, Wet Leg, Cowboy Junkies, Big Thief and more.

Steve Albini Died

Tonight’s Twisted Groove I will celebrate the life of Steve Albini who passed away last week. Albini sometimes had a cantankerous demeanor but he held strongly to his core values. He refused to take royalties on albums he worked on (a rare stance in the music industry). I will play tracks from his bands, bands he loved and bands he produced or, the way he would put it, engineered.

Mother Mary

This week’s Twisted Groove I dedicate to my mother, Mary, who passed away last week. As a teenager I would drag my mom into my bedroom to listen to my most recent music infatuation. She would always listen intently and give her honest opinion on the music. One night I dragged her in to listen to a full record side of Dark Side of the Moon. She liked it! This set ends with a couple of tracks from Dark Side…
